Children Aged 5+ in Bangkok to Get COVID Jabs Next Month

BANGKOK (NNT) – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) is preparing to launch a vaccination campaign for children 5-11 years old in February. The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine will be the main vaccine for this rollout.

The BMA will use the lower-dose pediatric version of the vaccine. Children aged 5-11 will receive a 10-microgram dosage for each of their two-dose primary vaccination schedules, or one-third the amount of regular dosage used in children 12 years and older, as recommended by the Food and Drug Administration.
